RAINS CHECK FARM WORK.
Winter Wheat Looks Well-Frost Nips
Fruit la California.
Washington, April 16. The Weather
Bureau Issued the following weekly
summary of crop conditions:
In the districts east of the Rocky
Mountains during the . week ending
April 13, the temperature has been
highly favorable for growing vegeta
tion, but farm work was very general
ly retarded by rains in the Lake re
gion, central valleys and Atlantic coast
districts, while complaints of lack of
moisture are received from portions
of the Central and West Gulf states.
In the Central and Northern Rocky
Mountain districts and on the North
ern Pacific coast the season is
very backward, and Washington and
Oregon have suffered from cold, wet
weather. In California the conditions
have been generally favorable, with the
exception of some damage by fror.ts.
The condition ot winter wheat Is
generally excellent, and it has made
splendid progress since the first ot the
month. In the Upper Ohio Valley,
however, the freeze of the 4th and 5th
caused some injury. On the whole
the conditions of the crop In the winter
wheat belt east of the Rockies Is more
promising than for years. In Califor
nia the outlook is also promising, but
in Oregon and Washington the condi
tions of the crop are less favorable,
especially in the last named state,
where about one-third of the acreage
will be resown.
Spring wheat seeding is nearly com
pleted In Iowa and Nebraska, and is
progressing well in South Dakota;
none has yet been sown In North Da
kota and In Northern Minnesota, but
In Southern Minnesota some has been
sown on rolling lands. By the close of
March, which was a very mild month,
all fruits were unusually far Advanced.
The reports now Indicate that many
varieties of fruit have suffered severe
ly for the month, partlculary the
peach.
In California, while some damage
has been done by frost, the outlook
Is favorable; on the North Pacific
Coast the season is so backward that
fruit has not been exposed to injury.
TWO KILLED BY TORNADO.
Storm Sweeps Over Remote Part of Ala
bama With Deadly Effect.

cial to the Age-Herald from Evergreen,
Ala., Bays:
News has just reached here by tele
phone confirming rumors of heavy loss
of life and property in the neighbor
hood of Peterman and Burnt Corn,
wrought by the tornado which passed
near there yesterday. Ten persons are
known to have been killed, numerous
barns and residences and outhouses
were swept away, entailing a loss
which will reach high In the thousands.
On account of the bad condition of the
wires communication Is difficult
H. P. Salter and his mother and
child were riding along a road and
were opposite a clump ot trees when
the storm overtook them. A heavy
tree that was uprooted by the wind fell
across the wagon crushing all of the
occupants to death. Several residenc
es were demolished, the timber falling
on the occupants, killing or Injuring
all within the buildings.
It will probably be several days be
fore a correct list of the casualties
can be obtained, as there is neither
telegraph nor railroad connection. The
heavy rains have rendered the roads
almost Impassable. Peterman ht in
Monroe county, and is not within 25
miles of a railroad or telegraph sta
tion.
All the news so far received has
come over the telephone lines, which
are several miles from the path of the
storm.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
COAL LEDQB FOUND. INESB RAIDED BY ROBBERS. I
Specimen From Near Wilholt Springs
of Excellent Quality. '
According to a report brought from
the vicinity of Wilholt Springs, 25
miles east of Oregon City, in the foot
hills of the Cascade Mountains, and In
Clackamas county, that portion of the
county is likely in the near future to
prove one of the greatest wealth-pro
ducing sections of the county. F. C
Barstow, of that place, has a sample
ot coal which h says has been taken
from a ledge Just unearthed on his
claim, which he claims to have been
looking for for the past 12 months.
. The sample that he showed was al
most pure carbon, and was as fine s
specimen of the "black diamond'" as
can be found anywhere between the
two oceans. According to his story the
vein Is from six to ten feet thick and
shows every indication of being per
manent.
It has long been known that there
are fine prospects for coal In that sec
tion, and many samples of coal picked
up from the hillsides have been exhib
ited, but It Is said that this Is the first
find of any consequence, and it is now
believed that claims that have not
been filed on In that vicinity will soon
be taken ud.
As the new electric railroad, for
which C. D. Latourette recently se
cured a franchise, Is supposed to run
to the vicinity of Wilholt Springs, it
is believed that this find will be sn In
centive to hurry up the building of the
road.
Settlers for Wallowa County.
A party of Immigrants, numbering
60 men. women and children, arrived
a few days ago from Hlnton, W. Va.,
and will locate. Many will go to El
gin and perhaps to Wallowa county,
where already many from their state
are already located. They are all in
search of Government land that can
be bomeateaded.
Treat for Music Lovers.
The students and citizens of Eu
icene are anticipating a great musical
treat when the State Oratorio Society
renders its programme in VUlard
Hall, May 12, 13 and 14.
Financial Condition flood.
The semi-annual financial report of
Columbia county officers for the six
months ending March 31, has been
completed and It shows a total in all
of the funds of nearly $40,000. The
total resources of the county are $43,
203.97, while the total liabilities are
$1328.06, the latter consisting of war
rants on the general and road funds
that have not been presented for pay
ment. There is no such a procedure
In that county of indorsing warrants
not paid for want of funds."
Examined Salem Bar.
David B. Ogden. of Portland, an en
gineer of the Government River and

Had Oood Rob.
The four-stamp mill recently install
ed at the new Kremer ft Palmer mine,
on Mount Reuben, has been completed
and given Its trial run. with excellent
results. The Kremer ft Palmer is one
of the richest and most promising
mines of Southern Oregon, and is an
other of the properties of this mineral
tone that has arisen from a mere pros
i.ect to a navlna- mine within the
course of a few months.
Snow Scares Grant Stockmen.
Three Inches of snow fell over most
of Grant county last week, causing
considerable slarm to the scores of
stockmen who had Just turned out on
the range. Skits ot February have been
carried Into April this seasonnumer
ous scant falls of snow being inter
mingled with chill weather, the com
bination proving rather trying on
stock. Ranchers now are very anx
ious for things to moderate.
Fears for Clackamas County Fruit.
The heavy hall storm of last week
did considerable damage to fruit in
different sections ot Clackamas coun
ty, many of the fruit trees being
in full bloom, and the entire blossom
holnr knocked off the trees. The
weather of the whole week has been
Immoderately cold, and It is believed
that the fruit crop is baaly damaged,
it not entirely killed.
Wife nurderer Suicides.
John de Falco. the Italian convict
who waa serving a life sentence at the
penitentiary for killing his wife In
Portland on February 26 through jeal
ousy, ended his existence at the prison
by cutting his throat and severing his
windpipe with an instrument anown
as a cell knife, with a blade about one
Inch long. ,
May Make 100,000 Idle.
Chlcaero. April 1. On the result of
a meeting to be held tomorrow depends
the question of a strike which may in
volve 100.000 workmen on the Great
Lakes. An ultimatum on wages is to
be presented by the package freight
handlers at Chicago to the managers
of the lake lines and labor contractors
who supply men for dock work along
the Chicago river. The demand Is

summer. It will be remembered that
a lot of toughs made a raid oa the
Chinese placer mines over there and
robbed them of all their gold dust and
money. Three of the Chinamen were
badly injured and several houses
burned.
It was not a mob but a raid of a lot
of thieves and robbers, who, the better
to intimidate their victims, burned
their homes and assaulted the in
mates. The Chinese government it la un
derstood, has made a claim against
Uncle Sam for $100,000 damages and
it iS for the niirwwA nf innlrlner tin

TON OF SALMON FOUND.
Was Csught Out of Season snd All Packed
In Ice.
Water Bailiffs Smith and Jones and
Deputy Warden Webster were looking
for poachers near the mouth of the
Clackamas when they ran Into as fine
a lot of salmon packed In Ice as their
eyes had seen for many a long day.
More than 2200 pounds were taken
from the pack and shipped to Port
land, where they were placed In cold
storage.
After leaving this big find of sal
mon, the men proceeded up the river
to look for a location for a flshway.
On their way they broke their oars
and were forced to beat ashore, and
almost under their eyes they discov
ered 20 fine steelheads, which they ap
propriated.
It has long been known that salmon-
fishing out of season was being; indul
ged In in the Clackamas, but that it
was being carried on on such a large
scale was not dreamed of, and strenu
ous steps will be taken to stop It. -

RAISED FROM THE DEEP.
One of the Spanish Ships Sunk by Dew
ey's Fleet at Manila.
Manila, April 15. The warship
Retna Christina, the flagship of Ad
miral Montejo, which was sunk by
Admiral Dewey, was floated and
beached yesterday. The skeletons of
about 80 of her crew were found in
the hulk. ;
One skeleton was evidently that of
an officer, for it had a sword by Its
side. There are fifteen shell holes in
the hull of the Reina Christina, one
made by an eight-inch and others
smaller. The main Injection valve is
missing, showing the ship was scut
tled when abandoned. The bull Is In
fair condition.
Captain Albert R. Couden, com
manding the naval station at Cavite,
took charge ot the remains of the sail
ors, expressing a desire- to give them
an American naval funeral. The
Spanish residents are anxious, how
ever, to ship the Skeletons to Spain,
and it is suggested that the transport
Sumner convey them to Spain by the
way of the Sues Canal In June.-
A wrecking company Is endeavoring
to raise all the sunken Spanish war
ships.
PERUVIAN CIVILIZATION.
Dr. Max Utile Mas Been Able to Trace It
Back 2,000 Years.
San Francisco, April 13. The ear
11 est American civilisation, for ante
dating the generally aeoepted limits
of pre-Columbus culture, has been
traced in Peru by Dr. Max Uhle, di
rector of the anthrologlcal excava
tions and explorations of the Univer
sity of California 'in that country.
Where heretofore Inca traditions had
led scientists to believe that Peruvian
civilization extended back only a few
centuries before the coming of the
Spaniards, the archeologlcal work of
Dr. Uhle '"has established the fact
that a great civilisation flourished
2000 years earlier, at the least esti
mate, and that a cultured race, ot
higher development than the Incas,
waa in existence before the Trojan
war.
This remarkable discovery follows
as a result of the studies made tn the
two expeditions which Dr. Uhle led
in recent years at the expense of Mrs.
Phoebe Hearst and under the aus
pices of the University of California,
